Joel ran a race in Santa Cruz about a month ago, and this was the weather...
It can get a little depressing when you are hoping for some sunshine! Thankfully, we've had a few breaks from the fog. About a week after that race, we were in desperate need of some sun and took a last minute trip to San Diego...
That's more like it! I think it's funny how similar these beach scenes are scenery-wise, yet so different weather-wise.
We caught a Padres-Brewers game in San Diego. Unfortunately, the Brewers lost. Joel was more heartbroken than I was though...
In August we traveled to Madison, WI for a wedding. It was a beautiful, hot day, and we enjoyed some Mariachi music (the full band arrived shortly after this) and time with our friends. That was one whirlwind trip--way too short.
Fall is usually the warmest time of the year here, so I'm hoping we'll start seeing more sun soon. Cross you fingers!
In crafty news, I made this Buttercup bag a few months ago. I used to do a lot of sewing, but at some point knitting took over as my craft du jour. I'm really happy with how it turned out, but it is really small. A little too small. I'd love to make another one that's about 2-3x larger. It's on my to-do list!
I also just finished up this hat for my cousin's new baby.
It's the Pixie Hat from Knitting for Two by Erica Knight. (Just in case you are looking for this book, I think it may have been reprinted with a new title: Baby Boom.) This was super fun and easy to knit. I used Cascade 220 for the yarn.
My pompom technique definitely needs a little work. These are my first pompoms ever, and although it's hard to tell from the photo, they are a little skimpy. Does anyone know of a good pompom tutorial?
I'm thinking of adding another pompom to the top--what do you think? In my book, you really can't have too many pompoms, but maybe it's just me!

what a fun summer you've been having!
the bag looks great - too bad it's too small.
i'd have to agree with you - hats for babies can never have too many pompoms! i say make one and put it on, if you end up thinking it's too much you can always just take it back off.
bring on the pompoms!!
oh my gosh i can't believe you made that bag! it's adorable!
sounds like you had a lovely summer! i hope the impending fall is bringing you some sun!
We definitely had a cooler summer than normal here in Ventura...lots of fog. We keep talking about going to a Padres game. I love the baby hat, and it would look adorable with a pom-pom on the top. Sewing a purse? It's really nice. I'm just now getting started on a quilt.
I never thought gray for a baby would look nice, but this is very nice. I don't know about another pom pom, though... Ask the mommy?
And, I like your pictures. Thanks for sharing them.
moving all my blogs over to google reader... just moved you.. just in case you ever decide to blog again. :)
hope you are well!!!
I love your bag and Pixie hat. I'm a bit partial to Pixie's, my husband's nickname is Pixie. Kind regards, Anita.
The bag looks great! I love small bags!

We have a MacBook computer and that i want my pictures which are on my computer to be on
my Motorola Razr 2 v9. We have a memory card
along with a memory adapter. Once i place the card in the adapter, the pc recognizes it.
And also the pictures that I have on my phone can transfer for the computer without any problem.
However the pictures on my computer won't transfer to my phone. All of that is shown as is a big red "x" on a black screen. Am I doing something wrong? The telephone company is AT&T..
